Beyond Colorblind Book Club

Jamie & Paul Ladipo are hosting a book study beginning September 14! Space is limited, so register now if you are interested in joining the conversation and reading through the book Beyond Color Blind by Sarah Shin.

Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year
Foreword INDIES Award Finalist

“For a generation or so, society has tried to be colorblind. People say they don’t see race. But this approach has limitations. In our broken world, ethnicity and racial identity are often points of pain and injustice. We can’t ignore that God created us with our ethnic identities. We bring all of who we are, including our ethnicity and cultural background, to our identity and work as God’s ambassadors.

Ethnicity and evangelism specialist Sarah Shin reveals how our brokenness around ethnicity can be restored and redeemed, for our own wholeness and also for the good of others. When we experience internal transformation in our ethnic journeys, God propels us outward in a reconciling witness to the world. Ethnic healing can demonstrate God’s power and goodness and bring good news to others. Showing us how to make space for God’s healing of our ethnic stories, Shin helps us grow in our cross cultural skills, manage cross cultural conflict, pursue reconciliation and justice, and share the gospel as ethnicity-aware Christians.

Jesus offers hope for healing, both for ourselves and for society. Discover how your ethnic story can be transformed for compelling witness and mission.”
